“ Protect the heir!” Hank shouted and about ten hefty men surrounded Elijah immediately and led him out of the funeral ground. Elijah made sure his grandfather was buried without any problem so that his soul would rest in perfect peace.“ What happened back there?” Hank asked as he drove Elijah away.“ I knew they would plan for me but I don't know who among my enemies want me down today” Elijah replied calmly while Hank looked at him through the rearview mirror.“ You look so much calmer than I expected,” Hank said, making Elijah chuckle.“ I am not afraid of death so you don't need to be afraid at all. I have many enemies but I am surely going to overcome each and every one of them” Hank only nodded and faced the road driving off to Elijah's villa.“ Please have a good rest tonight, you've done a lot” Hank said immediately as he parked Elijah's car inside the Villa.“ Thanks Hank, tomorrow, we will go see the land and pay for it” Elijah said and Hank nodded before bowing his head.
Elijah was already dressed when Hank came into his villa to pick him up.“ Good morning Young master” Hank bowed his head shortly which led to Elijah chuckling.“ For how long will you keep calling me young master Hank? It's so embarrassing especially when it's coming from your mouth” Elijah replied and made his way out of the villa to the parking garage while Hank followed behind him.“ So what car would you love to drive?” Elijah turned to face Hank.“ They are all yours so you're to decide that yourself not me” Hank muttered, his cheeks red with embarrassment which made Elijah to chuckle.“ Are you for real right now? Your cheeks are all shades of red right now, don't tell me you're blushing?” Elijah teased as his eyes fell off a red Lamborghini Aventador.“ I will go with this” he pointed at the red Lamborghini and immediately Hank rushed to the car and opened it to start driving, while Elijah sat at the passenger’s corner.“ What's on my schedule today?” Elijah asked and Hank rai
“ Are we going directly to see the land?” Hank joined Elijah as he made his way out of the board room.“ Yes, get the car ready let's go” Elijah replied and took out his phone when it began to ring.“ Hello, who is this?” He asked calmly.“ It's me, Isabella, “ the feminine voice said softly from the other end of the phone.“ Why did you call?” Elijah asked calmly so as not to sound rude but truth to be told, he was so pissed off because of what happened some minutes ago inside the boardroom.The fact that the board members didn't trust him made him more mad and he needed someone to transfer his aggression on, but he was holding it in so as not to transfer the anger in him to Isabella who just called to ask how he was faring.“ How are you? Are you okay now?” She asked worriedly and almost immediately Elijah's angry face turned soft and a smile graced his lips which made Hank furrow his brows.“ Who the hell is he talking to that made him smile?” Hank mumbled to himself as he kept loo
“ He has given me reasons to kill him and I will stop at nothing to slit his throat, that bastard!” Weston folded his fist, his face flushed with so much anger.“ You need to calm down, young master,” Williams said, trying to calm Weston down.“ I need to calm down? That asshole has taken everything from me and you want me to calm down?” Weston faced Williams.“ Let's get out of here. Elijah West, the war has just began” Weston said, his words carrying a more profound meaning. He drove out of the land at full speed and got back home in two hours.Getting to his mansion, he tried to conceal his anger so that his brother wouldn't make fun of him.Weston entered the sitting room and met David, his elder brother sitting on a sofa in the sitting room with a glass of expensive wine in his hand.“ Hello kiddo” David faced Weston and waved his hand at him but as usual, Weston ignored him and continued his word upstairs.“ Why are you always ignoring me?” David’s voice made Weston halt on hi
Elijah left the Empire to prepare for the dinner with Isabella. He got home and took a cool shower before dressing in a light blue shirt, a black suit and black trousers. The first two buttons of the shirt were left unbuttoned, showing his chiselled chest. The shirt was tight, showing his muscular arms giving him a very different look from the workaholic Elijah and his hair combed and brushed to the back.“ You look so much different today, young master” Hank who was standing in the sitting room said after he saw Elijah's new look.“ Is it so obvious?” Elijah asked, checking himself out.“ It's so obvious. You look totally different that I would mistake you for someone else” Hank said, making Elijah scoff.“ So where are you going that you look so different?” Hank asked and Elijah smiled.“ I am going to dinner with Isabella,” Elijah said and Hank's eyes widened.“ Isabella? The lady you took home that night? Do you like her?” Hank rushed his questions.“ I don't, she forced me to go
Weston drove off from the restaurant leaving Laura behind despite her shouts and screams to go with him.“ That bastard! I won't let him have her no matter what, I won't lose to him once again” Weston gritted, his eyes filled with hatred for Elijah who never knew that Weston holds a grudge against him.“ This time, I will get married to Isabella whether she likes it or not” Weston muttered, his hold on the steering tightened as he sped off directly to his mansion. Getting off from his car which he didn't park properly. He dashed into the house like someone who was running wild as a result of excess cocaine.“ Do you want to bring down the house? Why are you angry?” Mrs Wales, his mother asked as she made her way out of the kitchen.“ Where's dad?” Weston ignored her questions as he looked around for any sign of his father.“ Why are you so angry? Is anything the problem son?” Mrs Wales tried coming closer but Weston shouted.“ Where the fuck is dad? Is that so hard to answer?” West
Entering into her room, Isabella shut the door behind her loudly out of anger and threw her bag on the floor before taking out her phone to call Weston. It kept ringing for about a minute before it was picked up by him.“ Bastard! I know this is what you're doing. I never knew you could stoop so low as to get what you want using me after our discussion the other day. Don't you feel bad for your lover?” Isabella lashed out without giving herself breathing space.“ Yes, it's my doing darling. Don't get too angry because we are getting married very soon and I won't spare you in bed. I will screw that little hole of yours so bad that you will plead for mercy” Weston said drunkenly.“ I won't get married to you. I will never! Even if it's the last thing I do. You're an asshole who wants to get Elijah through me, do you think I won't know? I saw you when you dashed out of the restaurant earlier after you saw me and Elijah” Isabella said and Weston chuckled.“ You're a smart one, aren't you
It took just five minutes before he got to the bar where Isabella said she was.Elijah dashed out of the car without even parking properly. His head was a big mess right now and he had no control of himself.He ran into the bar and navigated among the people inside the bar but couldn't find a glimpse of Isabella anywhere.He began to ask people of Isabella by showing them her picture but no one knew her or where she was.Elijah dipped his hand into his hair and sighed in frustration. He decided to check all the nook and cranny of the bar, so he left the bar and went to the backyard. Just when he was getting close to the backyard, he began to hear Isabella faint voice and the voices of some men. “ Hey pretty girl, take off your dress let's have a good time together” one of the men said and began to take off Isabella's clothes but she kept struggling with them.“ No! You're not my Mr handsome so go away!” Isabella struggled weakly with them.“ Stay out!” The second man said and slapped
